Statistical mechanics of quantum measurement and quantum entanglement

This proposal will provide five key planks for a new "statistical mechanics of measurement and entanglement" that is made necessary by several lines of progress. Historically, the powerful theory of emergence in complex quantum systems was developed largely for many-body systems evolving with a time-independent Hamiltonian, usually very close to their ground state. Now, we must understand universality and emergence for a much broader range of quantum dynamical systems. The reasons are several. First, highly controllable quantum simulators are becoming experimental reality: instead of being constrained to Schrödinger dynamics with a fixed Hamiltonian, an ideal device allows arbitrary…
